Face and conquer sorrow in the darkest of times.
The year is 2035, and Soma Cruz is about to witness the first solar eclipse of the 21st century when he suddenly blacks out—only to awaken inside a mysterious castle. As Soma, you must navigate the castle's labyrinths while confronting perilous monsters at every turn with physical attacks and magical spells.
